Thursday delivered some massive transfer news as Fabrizio Romano revealed what Chelsea's Messinho transfer hinges on.

Plus, Vinicius Jr sent a clear message to Kylian Mbappe with his latest Real Madrid performance and Arsenal are linked with a surprise transfer that casts doubt on David Raya's future. There's plenty to cover, so let's jump right in.

Exclusive: Gudmundsson to stay in Serie A

FootballTransfers can reveal that in-demand Genoa striker Albert Gudmundsson looks likely to stay in Serie A despite significant Premier League interest.

Chelsea's Estevao threat?

Chelsea have agreed personal terms with wonderkid Estevao, but since they didn't trigger his release clause, they will have to negotiate with Palmeiras, which could pose some issues.

Arsenal's Raya shock

David Raya looks set to have his loan made permanent by Arsenal, but the Gunners are now being linked with a shock move for Jordan Pickford.

The Gunners could also bring a familiar face back to the Emirates to replace Aaron Ramsdale.

Vini's Mbappe message

Vini Jr sent Kylian Mbappe a clear message that he won't let the Frenchman take his place in Real Madrid's side.

Mbappe's arrival in Madrid is good news for Arsenal.

His PSG exit hasn't been made official yet but the French giants are already lining up a stunning replacement.

Though the Mbappe saga is finally coming to an end, Real Madrid and PSG are set to do battle for the next French superstar right away.

Transfer news

Finally, let's finish up with some more transfer news from around the world. Barcelona could push one of their most decorated players out of the club this summer.

Moreover, the Blaugrana's two most likely players to be sold have been revealed.

One of those stars could be offered to Man Utd in exchange for Jadon Sancho.

Not one but two Champions League finalists are heading across the pond to MLS this summer.

Arsenal's first big summer sale is taking shape as the asking price for Eddie Nketiah has been set.

Jorginho, meanwhile, will stay after extending his contract. The fact that Chelsea sold him should be considered a major mistake.

The Blues could, however, make a shrewd move by replacing Thiago Silva with someone who is almost as experienced as the 39-year-old.

Man Utd should do everything in their power to beat Chelsea and others to the signing of this ex-Man City player.

Graham Potter has officially rejected the chance to become the new Ajax coach. Is he heading to Old Trafford?

One of Liverpool's biggest stars is set to enter the City Football Group network after rejecting Barcelona.

Chelsea will NOT swap Romelu Lukaku for Victor Osimhen.

Man Utd have put one of their most reliable players up for sale.

The Red Devils are stepping up their pursuit of Joao Neves.

Chelsea have received a massive boost regarding a possible transfer of Ousmane Diomande.

Man Utd look set to bank €40m by selling Casemiro.

Lastly, Erik ten Hag and company have received some scathing criticism from the most unlikely of sources.
